Neo-Burlesque Fundraising...

So as some of you all may know, I'm also an alternative model with Morrismore Models in Vancouver.  I may not be as familiar with all the girls that are represented, but I like what the group represents- strong, confident women who defy the fashion worlds norm and are damn proud of it.  Last Saturday was our 1st birthday, so we celebrated with these stunning Night Portraits by a local photographer, hung up in a restaurant for the entire month of May.

I did my shoot with 2 other girls I hadn't met before- both were incredibly sweet to me, and I was happy to be around them.  So it made me really sad to find out that a day later, one of them lost everything they owned to a fire.

I can't do much in the way of donating clothes or money to her- I'm just a poor art student- BUT I know that I can put my talents to good use and help raise a couple of bucks to give to her.  Plus it's good incentive to do something I love for a profit.  I'm thinking on combining my new-found love of pin up girls and the Neo Burlesque scene to put something together.  If I work smart and keep up with my readings [I've got a SHIT-TON with these two classes I'm starting this week], I can get a good variety of work up by the end of the week.
